In addition to his orders and leave requests, the collection contains correspondence to his wife and son from 1898 to 1900. Other items in the collection consist of correspondence from Frank Harding to his parents; sympathy letters to Anna Harding upon the death of her husband, William; photographs collected by William showing various ships under construction and the Philippines; Harding family photographs; and miscellaneous souvenir booklets of USS Monterey, the Manila Hotel, San Francisco in 1908 upon the arrival of the Atlantic Fleet, and the Mare Island Navy Yard.
